ARKADELPHIA, Ark. — Henderson State will put its six-game Great American Conference winning streak on the line this weekend, when the Reddies travel to Magnolia, Arkansas, to battle with No. 5 Southern Arkansas in doubleheaders at 2 p.m. Sunday and 4 p.m. Monday.

In raising awareness for cancer research, Sunday will serve as this season's "Strikeout Cancer" game, as both teams will wear specialized pink and gray Strikeout Cancer jerseys during the doubleheader. Those game-worn jerseys will also be auctioned off through a silent auction, and admission taken for the games will be donated to brain and breast cancer research through the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA).
